Type: Fiction
Thanks to Pankaj, the author of the book for sending me a free copy of the ebook in exchange for honest review.
The story is of two individuals Fiona and Soham who are scarred with tragedy right from their childhood. Life keeps throwing them curveballs and they get hurt everytime. What happens when they two meet and does life becomes any better forms the remaining plot.
Fiona is a rebellious girl who hides her scar in her anger and Soham is guy who has lost all meaningful relationships in life and looking for a soul to get rid of his loneliness. Both their mind-chatters paints a glum mood to the story. There are several others characters who have played vital roles in the flow of the story. Every character and scene blended well with the story and did not break the natural flow. I would even go further and say the sorrow was an overflow every now and then.
About two-thirds of the book is filled with almost all sorts of sorrows you can think of. After every incident there would be a tiny ray of hope but soon you will feel cheated. The major part of the story travels in an emotional tunnel of sorrow, anger, hatred, loneliness etc. Although I do love novels which brings us to tears, this was a bit exhausting for me. But I liked the way the author has concluded the novel in a positive note.
The author has a very beautiful way of describing the city of Gangtok portraying its entire panorama. I also observed there had been many brand names like Nescafe, Woodlands, Wagon R and so on. Except in a few scenes, they did not add much value to the plot.
This book is all about never giving up when we face some really big problems in life and keep holding onto life with hope. It is ofcourse, a fragile thread as the name suggests but it is what also makes us move on in life.
Verdict: I would suggest this book to readers who like slow and steady paced story with some motivations and inspirations at the end.
